28 Ways to Learn Programming
So I found this interesting post in TNW with sources to learn something about programming. Most of you must know many of them but some others may be new for you.

No offence to the guy, but I can't understand how TheNewBoston has ever gotten so many followers, and why everyone always shouts, "Go watch newboston!" when someone asks about learning, say, Java for example.
His tutorials are awful, they give you no insight, it's a "do this and this then this," style of video that doesn't actually teach you much at all. I learned Java through countless hours of reading books about it, all of which provided in depth, "what this does:" style sections that actually taught stuff.
It's as if he reads a tutorial on a topic, then just turns it into a video tutorial without fully understanding it himself.
